| Morphological Notes | Demonstrative pronoun; common gender; plural; proximal; functions independently or adjectivally with definite force. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
these
| Same as P1 | Yes |
| Rationale | Standardized from "these ones". The Hebrew demonstrative הָאֵלֶּה is the standard form and is accurately rendered as “these.” “These ones” is redundant and adds no necessary nuance in this context. For consistency with the chosen standard rendering, change to “these.” |
